Psalm 50:23 ~ Thanksgiving

Let us be Light bringers

Psalm 50:23

23 The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me;

to one who orders his way rightly

I will show the salvation of God!”


A gratitude list. We don't always have time for a Gratitude Journal, but I have texted myself time to time - my gratitude thoughts.

Our sincere thanks to Father God are the fuel we find His mercies to be.

Our thanks is the warmth when times are chilly. Our gratitude assures us we appreciated goodness during good times - helping us again to have open hearts.


We all know one day in life seems full and the next seems over-whelming - and this life is the same life. Gratitude lists help us carry the sunlight God gives us to the cloudy days.


Father God,

I am very grateful to see the birds in my back yard. I am so grateful to see the migrating birds - we have had a Red Hawk fly into our house and the bird the Hawk was chasing survived as well.

How to say, Thank You, God for the pleasant time to have meals. We sit to tell honest and sometimes hurtful things, Edward, Alexander, have times to support me and I support them.

I made lunch and had remarks my work was good.

Tonight, I made biscuits and Edward decided to make spinach eggs and we jointly clean the kitchen.

I did laundry and Edward did his shirts on hangers.

I have re-found a long lost purse, and the nice lady at Wells Fargo who runs the branch and likes my blouse and is a very kind person. Living where kind conversation occurs is a blessing.

Yesterday I had a new walking companion, Caroline. Blessings to hear about dog therapy work in rehabilitation.

Yesterday, we had a passerbye tell of her loved dog of 22 years. And she took a photo of my dog for his kind eyes.

And today an invitation to Tues Nights, from Justina, but I can't for my Bible Study but maybe this summer.

I have an invitation to lunch  tomorrow with a woman I think is a favorite of the Lord's.

Our Anniversary dinner survived and was lovely as we had two specific and different ideas on dinner. A lovely meal.

Our Anniversary photo had 80 fb likes on our photo. Which makes winter all but disappear. How very, very lovely.

We had a very fast response to Edward's Social Security Disability Report. Edward bounced back from having to fill in serious information.

I stood at the traffic crosswalk for so long, it skipped me, that I had to kindly wave cars to go on, consideration for the pedestrian during rush hour.

I got to have a very heartfelt conversation Tuesday and it was very important and people heard me with understanding and kindness Tuesday afternoon too

Recently we ran into old friends and had a great time with them for 15 20 minutes

Yes and my mom called and said she had a good time and wants to come back and that was lovely.

THE LORD is shining from John 1 The Light of Christ shines in all mankind

Thanks God for the comfort and help I have received to see life with hope and a future.

A very helpful man at Home Depot to analyze the drawer and figure out the right paint for me to do the kitchen cabinets 

My younger son fixed our broken faucet. My older son is going to bring us Apple Pie for our Anniversary.

Father God, You are so Vast, that as we tell our thank you's, we are blessed. Renewed and encouraged. In gratitude, let us remember all You have done for us. Being so very grateful for the people You bring us.

For the patience to bounce away from criticism. And move away from petty conversations. To be a joy bringer.

Help us to find honesty within ourselves. To be light bringers rather than light absorbers. To see what we need to see in the people around us to admire them for their good points and to find our own good points leading us away from what is easy and convenient. 

Learning to be encouraging instead of fault finding. Yet not white-washers.

To love with our heart and to love with our actions when the heart is not stirred. Bringing with our efforts, joy to the people around us. And wisdom to be the people we are created to be.

So many areas pull us, Father God. Help us each day to sort out the priority. 

Your Word says to find comfort in seasons of little warmth and to remain hopeful. 

And this is So Very Important. John 5 says to do the Work of Believing that seasons of scant - lead us in problem solving - helping us to find God's Favor is here when we have difficulty/growth times - and in good days learning to know we appreciated the warmth of the days at hand. And will for future days, pleasing Wonderful Jesus.


In Your Love, Our Father, and Wisdom. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm 136:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!!!

Psalm 107:1
Oh, Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!!!

2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.


Philippians 4
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think on these things.

And the God of peace will be with you all.

God is awe inspiring.
